1957 Farmall Lo-boy won't start

Posted by Joe on May 24, 2004 at 12:06:38 from (69.106.62.94):

I recently bought my first tractor, a Farmall cub lo-boy, I believe it is a 57' after comparing it to others pictured on websites. I has been sitting out doors and subject to our relatively mild northern calfornia weather for about six years. It had good anti-freeze in it and the crank case was full and the oil seems quite clean. The carb float seems stuck; gas trickles out of the carb through the air intake. I have taken the carb apart and cleaned it out. I have had no luck in trying to get it to fire. I am hoping to get some pointers on where to look and methods of testing. I know it ran very good when parked. Also a good suplier recomendation for parts would be helpful. Thanks for your help.

P.S. stock 6V system, & should I use a lead additive?

Joe
